She Wished for Beauty

Hi everyone and Happy Memorial Day!!! I'm here to share my May Flowers project I created for the Art with Heart Challenge which is over at Eileen Hull's blog. I had just finished an altered Altoid tin for my design team project and after looking at the suitcase die I decided I could definitely create my own "Altoid tin" with this diecut. :-)For this challenge I used Eileen Hull's Sizzix Scoreboards XL Die Bag Suitcaseto cut out two "bottoms" each from mat board and cardstock for a total of four "bottoms". I inked all the edges with chalk ink, adhered together.Now for the fun part…adding all the fun embellishments!!!

I've had these hinges for several years and I'm now finally using them…yes, can we say I am a craft horder ;-)

I used some leftover dies that I had cut out from the Sizzix Scoreboards XL Die Box Squareto use to frame the side of the box. The buttons, Dew Drops and sequins I built up so I could wrap twine around to keep the box close. The beads I added as weighs to keep the twine from unwinding around the button.

The inside I used the Tim Holtz: Lace Diealong with dew drops, stickers, punches, sizzlets and buttons which I think turned out adorable.

I fussy cut a butterfly from the Vintage Spring Printable. I added antenna and flowers to top off the upper corner of the box.

Wow Wow this is absolutely fantastic, what an inspired piece of art. I adore your use of colour and your flowers and design are stunning. Thanks so much for joining in the Art With Heart Challenge. Tracy x
